I braved the Portland showers to go adventuring in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon with an intrepid group of Gonzaga University Choir members. The mission: eat sushi, explore Powell's Bookstore, and experience the zaney and delectable wares of Voodoo Doughnuts. Despite losing our way several times in the drizzly mire, we accomplished all of the above!
Powell's Bookstore is a many-floored, many-roomed labyrinth. How cool is it to actually be able to lose yourself in isles and corners and crannies full of books? I bought a copy of "The Once and Future King." I hope the sentimental pull of purchasing it in Portland will induce me to read it over Christmas Break.
Off we went to Voodoo Doughnuts, a little shop hawking some of the weirdest and wackiest creations I've seen lately (Just realized I keep talking about doughnuts in my posts...oh well, I'm a fattie). Come on, a doughnut with marshmallow frosting and Berry Cap'n Crunch? Almost gross, but still delicious! I invested in the "Dirty Old Bastard" (ironically one of the more appropriately-dubbed doughnuts): chocolate frosting, Oreos, and peanut butter. Oh: the maple doughnut with BACON on the top of it (pictured), yes, that exists. Did I try a bite of one? Why, yes, I did.
Cheers to globetrotters everywhere!
